1:21:01
- Oh, yeah.
1:21:03
Yeah, very much so.
1:21:05
'Cause everybody reacts
over there just like that.

1:21:09
They don't stop and think.
1:21:12
First reaction is pull the gun
out. "You're on my property."

1:21:16
You know, like...
1:21:20
I don't know. It's just
different over here.

1:21:23
- Where do you live?
- Detroit.
(Windsor, Canada)

1:21:25
- Come over to Canada here
for the night?

1:21:27
- Right.
1:21:28
- People are more open-minded
here, a bit more welcoming.

1:21:31
- Feel any difference when
you cross over to this country?

1:21:34
Be honest, now, come on.
- It's a lot lighter.

1:21:36
- The segregation over there
is definitely much more--

1:21:38
- In the United States.
- ...more intensified

1:21:40
in the States, yeah.
- Yeah.

1:21:42
- So you can... You can feel it.
1:21:45
- Almost like they just
let you be.

1:21:47
- That's Canada for you.
1:21:49
- Every time I turn on the TV
in the States,

1:21:51
it's always about a murder here,
a gunfight, hostile position...

1:21:55
- I just think the States, their
view of things is fighting.

1:21:58
That's how they resolve
everything.

1:22:00
If there's... there's something
going on in another country,

1:22:03
they send people over
to fight it and...

1:22:05
- They are the most powerful
country in the world, though.

1:22:08
- Canada's more just, like,
"Let's negotiate,

1:22:10
let's work something out."
Where the States is,

1:22:12
"We'll kill you and that'll be
the end of that."

1:22:15
- Um, if guns were...
If more guns made people safer,

1:22:20
then America would be one of the
safest countries in the world.

1:22:23
It isn't. It's the opposite.
